EFFECTIVE EMBROIDERY
FOR SUMMER PARASOL

NOVEL MEANS OF LOCOMOTION
Motorcycle with Rider Standing on a
Foot Platform Between the
Rear Wheels.
In the accompanying illustration is
shown the motorcycle of the future.
One- that is easily handled, operated
and steered. The two-wheel motor-
cycles now in use are entirely too
cumbersome and unwieldy to give
good service, whereas the three-
wheeled vehicles overcome - these
faults. The operator is shown be-
tween the rear wlifeels on a small plat-
form carried by the drop frame. In
HTont of the foot platform is the mo-
tor, having connections with the rear
wheels. The steering apparatus is
connected directly with the front
wheel, so that it can be conveniently
manipulated. Levers for regulating
the speed are also close to the hand,
while additional clutches, operating
the brakes, are adjacent to the foot.
For speed and comfort for short dis-
Soutache Motif Embellished with French Dots—Half of Motif.
f\NE of the daintiest accessories of
vJ the summer wardrobe is the sun-
shade. A parasol boasts more virtues
than the eminently practical one of
shading the eyes from the impertinent
rays of the sun. It gives an air of
smartness to the summer girl. The
display of sunshades in the shops is as
attractive as it is varied, and many of
the models shows designs of this
year’s vintage.
Decidedly the most effective of the
parasols for all-around use are-the em-
broidered linens. A woman who is
clever with her needle may trans-
form a plain, unassuming linen sun-
shade into a chic embroidered affair
that might have come straight from
?aris on the. latest steamer.
A sunshade of white linen, with one
-of the new square light wood handles,
may be purchased, and the above de-
sign, half of which is given, applied to
-each of the sections, as shown in the
sketch. The design may be traced on
the parasol with carbon paper. It is
then worked out in -coronation braid,
French knots and satin stitch in floss
embroidery silk.
The coronation braid is to be sewn
on in the space between the double
lines. This outlines the flowers, leaves
and stems, and forms an inner line on
each flower petal.
Small white French knots ar&
worked between the two rows of braid.
The petals are filled in lightly with
long satin stitches of irregular lengths
with delicate pink floss. The effect of
the glossy texture of the silk is ex-
tremely pretty.
The center of the flower is composed
of one large yellow dot surrounded
by tiny rose colored French knots.
The stem and leaves are of the coro
nation braid, and the latter are filled
in with pale green floss. The color
scheme is charmingly dainty, and
would harmonize with almost any Cos-
tume. .
A sunshade decorated in this way
would be an attractive addition to the
trousseau, or to the outfit for college
commencement festivities. It would be
highly appreciated as a graduation
gift or wedding present, and is equally
suited to town and country use.

The First Lifeboat.
Some may be surprised to learn
that the first lifeboat, especially of
tfe§ styh^ ofv£ho§£ adopted ^t the
present^ time, Is still in existence at
Redcar, in Yorkshire, says Windsor
Magazine. This boat was placed
at Redcar in the year 1802 to
be used as a boat “for saAdng
life in storms or other dangers
the ships-’ coming into or.near the
mouth of the Tees. It was built by a
shipwright of the neighboring port of
Sunderland from plans of his own
invention, and parliament considered
his work so meritorious and advan-
tageous that it voted him a sum of
£1,200 as a reward for his time, .trou-
ble and ingenuity. This fine old boat
did excellent service- for over 71
years, and then, owing to the introduc-
tion of newer types and better boats,
it. was placed upon the “retired list”
and transferred to the shed where is
how is.

Hard Food for the Teeth.
“Eat hard food if you wish to keep
the teeth clean and preserve them,”
is the advice of'Dr. George Cunning-
ham, who has been conducting a cru-
sade for the preservation of the teeth
of English children. The best of all
bread, said Dr. Cunningham recently,
was that provided in the prisons.
Mothers who had the interests of their
children’s teeth at heart should select
a good crusty loaf made from “sec-
onds” flour, and not. from the white
roller milled. The crusts should be
cut off and given to the children to

Latest Decree of Fashion Has Oven
shadowed Everything Previously
in Vogue.
There are more silk and wool ma-
terials put on the counters each week.
New ones that were kept until late in
the season have been shown to the
public. These are made up into coat
suits or one-piece frocks, and are
often striped.
Some of the colors come with a
plain surface for the skirt and a
striped surface for the coat. Silk-and-
wool bengaline is possibly the favor-
ite of them all. The corded fabrics
are in the height of fashion. The idea
even runs into shantung and pongee.
There seems no end to the lattei
weave. •• It overspreads everything
else. Just why- is hard to say, for it
is rather raglike when made up and
cannot be depended on for graceful
lines.
Some of the weaves are delightful
for house frocks,- and as the material
has practically no weight, it makes a
most comfortable frock .for this hot
climate. - •
One of the latest weaves in it has a
diagonal cord through it. It is very
wide and heavy, much like the stylish
serge we have Worn gll winter.

Butter Cutter.
of Washington. Nor is this cutter
useful in the home alone. In fact, it
is probably of more real use in hotels
and restaurants, where many pounds
of butter have to be cut in a day, and
where an equal portion to every cus-
tomer is a diplomatic necessity. The
apparatus consists of an oblong
frame, slightly larger than a pound of
butter, with handles at each end.
Running through the center of the
frame lengthwise is a thin sharp
strip of metal, the edges pointing out.
At right angles to this, and crossing
the frame at close intervals, are other
knifelike strips. The device is placed
over a pound of butter and pressed
down through it, dividing the lump
into about two dozen equal squares.

be found possible to greatly simplify
many of the culinary tasks. It is de-
signed for removing seeds and skins

The
Exceptional
Equipment
of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, ir -’1 of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic-
inal principles of plants known to act most
beneficially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Fig3.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna and as the gen-
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy tha
“enuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline imitations or to return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full nama
of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found
printed on the front thereof.

Handy Electric Cai^.
The electric vehicle is essentially
the proper equipment for shopping
trips; for the doctor who must depend
upon a machine to be in readiness day
or night, and which he can manipulate
himself without fuss or bother and
without calling upon a professional
driver. The noiselessness and ease of
control of the electric vehicle make it
the perfect machine for ladies’ use,
and for threading in and out the busy
city traffic the business man for his
short trips finds it. an especially agree-
able mode of travel; H

New Jewish Philanthropy.
The Sisterhood of Emanu-El has
just opened a new branch in the form
of a home for Jewish girls in East
Sixty-first street, New York. The In-
stitution is primarily intended to pro-
vide for girls under 16 whom a first
offense has brought to the attention of
the juvenile courts, as well as for girls
who have been tried for minor offenses
in the court of general sessions. The
building, is well equipped, and it is in-
tended to give the girls all the com-
forts of a well regulated home and to
train them in sewing, cooking and
other, household duties.

Rabbinical Wit.
An Engilsh rabbi was asked if there
was any weighty reason against hav-
ing a clock in the synagogue. “By no
means,” was the reply. “Have your
clock, but put it outside the building,
and then you can tell how late you
come to the service.” Two rabbis
were passing the beautiful synagogue
in which one of them officiated. “How
I envy you!” said the first “You
must be in a paradise.” “Hold,
friend!” the second explained. “In
the original paradise there was only
one serpent, but In this congregation
are many of them.”
